[QUOTE="1970 Silver Art, post: 1403599, member: 18828"]Ninstarmon, If you are happy with this trade and if you are very happy with what you have, then I that is what matters. People say that an oz of silver is just an oz of silver and it all melts the same. That is true but it does not sell the same on ebay and elsewhere. There is (and will always be) a collector market for certain types of collectible and numismatic silver coins and bars. From what I understand and observed, those Lunar silver coins sell for huge premiums over spot on ebay especially the Dragon coin. If you are a collector, then buying what you like is what really matters. As a collector, being happy with what you bought matters more than what you paid for it. With that said, it does not hurt to shop around for the lowest price on a certain collectible silver piece and that comes to DYODD on what you are trying to collect. DYODD = Do Your Own Due Diligence. If you are an investor or a stacker, then buying silver for the lowest premium matters IMO since this type of PM buyer is buying the most number of oz's for the lowest premium possible and does not care about and will not pay the "collector" premium to get it. I fall in the "collector" category when it comes to PMs (mainly silver) because I love to collect silver art bars and, in the past, I have paid a large premium for several of the very rare on ebay.[/QUOTE]
